The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 66:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! rather, How terrible are thy works! God's deliverances, while rejoicing the persecuted, are "terrible" to the persecutors. Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

God's enemies, compelled against their will, have to submit themselves, but it is a feigned submission (comp. Psalms 76:12).
